WAGES IN 1900.
A Glance Backward Into Those
Good Old Times "

McMaster's History says: "The
condition of the wage class of that day
may De well examined; it is full of in
struction for social agitators. In the
great, cities unskilled workmen were
hired by the day, brought their own
food, and found their own lodgings.
But in the country, on the farms, or
wherever a hand was employed on
some public work, they were fed and
lodged by the employer and given a
few dollars month. On the Penn
sylvania canals the diggers ate the
coarsest diet, were housed IN the rudest
sheds, and paid Sc a month from May

Lucky Buyers Of Inventions.

The life dream of Lowell lady
has been that the number 272, 751
was to be her lucky number. Some
years ago she invested small amount
of money in letters patent bearing the
fayorite number 272, ISL. She claims
the purchase was made to assist the
inventor, who lost his health in the
late war, rather than for her own
speculation, Notwithstanding her re-
lief in the number After years of
patient waiting she has been assured
by some of the best judges in the
State that she had chosen q lucky
number, rs it appears to-day that the
goods which this patent covers are of
considerable value. A Pennsylvania
manufacturer tells q story of the in
ventor of multiple of rolls or trucks
under the bottom of railroad cars be-
tween the truck frame and the body
Of the car. The inventor became
pressed for funds and desired lone
of 500, assigning his patent as Sc
curity. Out of sympathy, the manu-
facturer gave him the money, never
expecting, as he says, to ever get a
dime of it back, and threw the patent
papers aside in his safe, where they
lay undisturbed for ten years. One
day lawyer of his acquaintance call
ed at his Office and inquired if he ever
bought q patent on friction rolls for
a railroad car After rejecting mo-
ment, he told him that about ten years
before he had loaned an inventor some
money on a car patent, but he didn't
expect to ever hear from it again.
The lawyer told him that this patent
was being used on almost every car
now being built, and large revenue
could be collected. Terms were soon
negotiated for collecting evidence
OF Infringement; 80 that
the loan of 500 to help out the dis
tressed inventor brought him more
money than oil his other business
Boston Journal.
The money paid for patents which
have remained dormant in the hands
of the inventor for long time after
their issue is in the aggregate very
large. Incidents similar to those re-
lated above come to our knowledge
very often, where parties have receiv-
ed quite handsome sums for their pat
ents after several years waiting,
when oil hope of realizing anything
from them had departed.
Upon referring to our file Of Patent
Office reports we end the patent re-
ierred to as the lucky number 272, ISL
was for Ia window blind support, II
small inyention, but seemingly n
good contriyance, the merit of which
had undoubtedly more to do with the

Not 80 very many days ago q
couple-newly married-stopped at
the Ryan for the night. They hailed
from somewhere in the vally Of the
Red district, and had money enough
to make d small ripple in the city.
The bride retired early; but the
groom, still feeling his oats, went out
to see the town. He visited num-
ber of the prominent resorts, and
about midnight found himself in the
hotel elevator Calmly trans-tixing
the host boy with his eye. he address
ed him: my boyish, swhere's my
birdesh !? Swhere's my turtle dove ?''
The boy, of course, could not answer
him. Bot fiuding the number of his
room he attempted to take him there.
"Noshir !" said the inebriate; "Ish

the ros,sh of the valley, she ish. "

hall was awake by this time, and

ish," he continued, "a swan Of the
shea Where'sh she Thatsh

stole my cuckoo from mesh 7" BY
this time they were at the door of his
room. 1t suddenly opened, a hand
and arm clothed in white was thrust
out and the unfortunate yanked in
with terrific jerk and this remark:
"Here's your rose of Sharon and the
lily of the valley. you blamed old
fool. Go to bed !"

Where the scarlet pimpernal and starry
daisies grow,
Where the woodbine wreathing greeti the

Where the foam-pearls dance upon the

Take ME to the valleys, where the thick,
shady alleys
Will lead me 70 red clover fields and plain:
of yellow sheayes,
And III sing to the bees and tl,wers, I'll tell
the woodland bowers
That the heart brings blcS its old love to
the sweet, green leaves.
Take me where the birds hy, take me where
the herds lie,
Where the ringdove nestles and the brows-
ing heifer lows,
Where the brake will hide me from the ia En
beside me,
Where the pebbly runnel kisses wild moss
reed and rose.
Take me where the sunlight only sheds a
dun light,
Where the arm of lady birch with oak and
alder waves,
And their branches, bent with glory, shall
tell the same old story,
That bird and poet sing the best mid
sweet, green leaves.

In Slumber for Five Years.

An extraordinary case of suspend
ed animation is reported from Thenel-
les, q town in France. The subject
is a young woman, 25 years of age,
and since the Goth of May, 1888, she
has been continuously in state of
deep sleep. She has been examined
by physicians and specialists num-
ber of times, and recently by select
committee, and from their observa-
tions it was learned that her sleep re-
sembled lethargic torpor, in which
her respiration was normal, and her
pulse, although feeble, was found to
be rather rapid-about 100 pulsations
a minute.
Every attempt to arouse her from
her stupor has proved unsuccessful,
and the senses appear closed to every
influence. Sounds, pinching, blows,
piercing the body with needle, alike
have no effect. The eyes are cast
upward 80 far that it is not possible
to examine the pupil, nor is any re-
flex movement of the eyelids notice
able when the eyeballs are blown
upon. The jaws are firmly set, and
several of the teeth of the subject have
been broken in ignorant attempts to
force them apart.
The subject was in a very delicate
state of health before falling into the
lethargy, and was of nervous, high
ly strung temperament, and was
thrown into series of convulsions by
a sudden fright, which was followed
by the deep sleep from which she has
never been aroused. 1t is possible to
feed her with liquids, administered
with q spoon, and this is done several
times q day, the food consisting
usually of milk, and milk with the
white of egg, syrup and others liquids.
The fluid is poured into the mouth
and thence it flows into the pharynx,
when q swallowing movement may
be observed.
The Revue de pHypnotisns. which
has long article concerning this
case, considers the patient an hysteri-
cal epileptic, thrown into condition
resembling that period of hypnotism
which is designated lethargic sleep.
1t is probable that life will continue
for sometime longer, provided the di-
gestive processes continue uninter-
rupted, although death usually marks
the end of these long periods Of mani.
ton.

The Pope on McGlynn.

The following is the text of tn,
letter received by Archbishop Corri
gan from the Pope, relative to the at
titude and doctrines of DR., McGlynn
ITO our Venerable Brother, MICHAEL
AUGUSTINE CoRRIGAN, Archbishop
of New York:
VENERABLE BROTHER; Health anG
the Apostolic benediction. Your let
ter dated the Cd day of April last has
reached us, in which you lament the
contumacious disobedieuce of 6
priest, one of your subjects, not only
toward yourself, but also toward this
Apostolic See, and anxiously seek to
bring before the supreme tribunal oi
our authority the false doctrines con-
cerning the rights of property dissem-
mated by him among the people, in
newspapers aud public assemblies.
We, therefore, moved by these your
words, expressed to US with just
grief of heart and in the conscientious
discharge of duty. have accurately
considered the whole series of facts
from the beginning, and have espe,
cially seen with commentator your
irmness joined with signal charity
1t has been indeed great grief to us
to see the rebellion which has arisen
against your authority in your city
through the deeds of some, their Graf
tily devised Vaccinations and the
open conspiracy of factious men.
Ard our anguish has been all the
greater since, from information lately
conveyed to US, we have learned that
there are some others of the clergy
imbued with the doctrines of this
priest, who have not hesitated to ad-
here to him, although the clergy gen.
orally of the whole diocese and the
greater and better part of the laity
gladly remain with unchanged will in
faithful obedience and loyalty to
you.
"It is indeed greatful to US and ap-
proved by US that you have labored
to crush ere they sprang up the vic
ious seeds of doctrines scattered under
pretext of helping the masses. Nor
is it less to your praise that with
long suffering and patience you have
not ceased with watchful industry to
calm proud aud restless spirits, al
though they have not refrained from
ISLANDERS and reproaches against you
and this Apostolic See. 1t is fitting,
then that you should be of good heart
and with unwavering frmness apply
all your strength to the work of the
salvation Of souls and in defending
the sanctity of faith and discipline.
Nevertheless. led by Christian char
ity, you will leave nothing untried
that with paternal benevolence you
may embrace those who are deceived
by this new doctrine if they return to
wiser counsels
"We, however, will never permit
any injury to your good name and
dignity, much less to the authority
of this Apostolic See, and we will not
fail to make known to you through
the sacred congregation of the Propa-
ganda timely measures for the cor
rection of rebellions Meanwhile we
earnestly pray the God of consolation
that He will console you, venerable
brother, tried by so many cares, and
as pledge of His divine favor and a
proof of our special affection for you
we lovingly bestow upon you, the
clergy and the people committed to
your care. the Apostolic benediction.

SECESSION PROBABLE

SECESSlON IhODA DIE
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-The "unior
issue" in the General Assembly o.
the Southern Presbyterian Church
has reached a critical point, and from
the expressions let drop in the great
debate to-day, disintegration or dis.
ruption will soon take place. Every
speaker admitted the question to be
the greatest the church has had to
pass on since the secession of the
church in 1861. Such eloquent men
as DR.. Palmer, of New Orleans, DR..
Vaughn, of Virginia, and Dr. Preston
of Virginia, said that their Presby-
teries woulG not unite with the
Northern church under any circum.
stances
The war was fought over again,
and DR. Preston described with tell
ing pathos the struggles of the poor
and starved beardless boys who lay
buried under the virgin soil and
who sacrificed themselves for prin.
ciple, and he never proposed to give
that principle up. State rights were
enunciated from the pulpit, and Sec
tional feeling worked up as much as
possible by the anti Unionists. The
Union element, led by Dr. j. Fl. Bry-
son, of Alabama; DR.. Murkland, of
Baltimore, and DR.. Luckett, of Texas,
were o match in every way for the
opposition. DR.. Bryson described
his services in the field for the South.
He had experienced it all, but he was
now willing to shake his Northern
brothers. hand. He answered every
argument put forth and explained
that it was the far South, the rejuven-
ated Dixie, that was appealing for
union, Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama The border Synods opposed
it.
To-day's developments indicate that
another secession will take place in
the South and that fully two-thirds
of the body now known as the South
ern Presbyterian church will secede
and join the Northern Presbyterian
church. The fragment left is i'm
bued with the old spirit and will
hold out till the death.

The Deadly Salamanders.

New York, May 17.-About ten
days ago Chas. Reiche ~ Bros, deal
ers in animals, received two sala.
manders from the interior of japan.
These japanese terrors have excit-
ed great attention, not only because
they are the only ones ever imported
to this country, but on account Of
their bad regulations.
Anything that they touch is render
ed poisonous. Water in which they
have poked their noses becomes 80
deadly as to kill any living thing that
touches it, The reputation of the
salamander in regard to fire is well
known. 1t is believed that these ami
mails have many other bad habits
about which they are silent.
On Sunday the two warty beasts
were left in shallow tub, and yes
terday it was discovered that both
had escaped. The larger of the two
was found in corner Of the room,
and without much difficulty was pick
ed up on cloth and put back in the
tub. The little one had left n watery
trail in its flight which led out of the
door and half way down a flight of
stairs to hole just big enough for
tho creature to squeeze through.
The wandering salamander must
have made quick descent to the cell
lar 1oor, where u young black bear
of great amiability of character was
chained to the walls. The fall prob.
ably soured the salamander's temper
ard made him anxious to smash
things, for when the store was opened
the bear was lying dead in its corner
with froth about its muzzlc and it's
body drawn up as if it had died with
the cLlic. No marks could be found
on the bears body and no autopsy
was made. That will come in due
time, for everybody wants to know
just how the salamander gets in it's
deadly work.
The cellar of the store was thor
oughly searched during the day, but
the lizard was not to be found. Last
night stream of water was left
trickling down into an iron basin in
the hopes that the pleasant sound
would attract the saIamander, which
must be very dry indeed by this time.
The unfortunate part of the affair is
that nobody knows whether the sala.
mander kills it's victim by biting, spit
ting or merely getting into the same
room. This uncertainty makes the
hunt peculiarly exciting.
